In 2015, Laura Scoccolo launched a Facebook page for parents and nannies to interact.

To her surprise, it exploded in popularity, and the page - Seattle Nanny Parent Connection - currently has more than 18,400 members throughout Seattle, King, Snohomish and Pierce counties.

On Monday, the City of Seattle and the Seattle School District announced a new partnership regarding the future of the multi-use venue, in addition to planning for a potential new school at Seattle Center, a downtown elementary school, and district-related uses at Fort Lawton.

In August, two-dozen middle school students went into the Museum of History and Industry with a desire to learn more about smartphone app development. They left with a little something extra: two-dozen free laptops.

The Seattle Public Library is partnering with Gender Diversity to bring a unique and moving exhibit about transgender teens to the Central library in Downtown Seattle this June and July. The exhibit, “Imagine the Possible,” will run through the summer.

On May 17, the northwest Seattle high school’s Gender Awareness Group and Pride Club opened the campus’s first gender neutral bathroom. Two more bathrooms would be marked as transgender positive spaces later in the day, said student Destin Cramer, who spearheaded the redesignation of the facilities.

State Sen. Pramila Jayapal visited educators at Nathan Hale High School in Meadowbrook May 5 for an announcement that the Seattle Education Association, a local branch of the National Education Association, had endorsed her candidacy for U.S. Congress.
